Hi List,

This might be on the hit list already.  Is it possible to have different icons 
for different file types within the QGIS Browser?  I know the standalone 
Browser is being discontinued but the panel will still be available in the core 
QGIS.  Different icons would be very useful.

In the QGIS Browser (app and panel) file system based datasets are listed in 
alphabetical order and each file has either a small raster icon if it is an 
image format or a small polygon icon if it is not.  For database layers they 
have a small point, line or polygon icon.

In my second choice GIS (well known!) there is also a browser-like application 
but it shows the files and datasets with different icons depending on file and 
data type.  You can see the icons in the screenshots on this page -
